Happiness and Dreams of Tomorrow . . .



Everything is connected, everything we contact becomes us. Our thoughts, our memories, each thing takes up a position in our minds. A dog rubbing your leg, you pet him and he rolls onto his back. You feel his unconditional love and he loves you . . . And at that moment, you love him.

And so we seek, love, friendship, things that make us feel good, the things we enjoy. Why?

Everyday the things we dislike stack up in our minds and before long we can’t see tomorrow as being good. You are the key to your own happiness and Balance is important. Work has to bring more than just a paycheck, it has to satisfy a need, to feel needed, to feel important, just to feel. Family has to the same as do friendships as do everything we do.

And all too often we see things as being more important than anything else. That’s when family, friends and even love will leave us. We become what we seek and slowly our dreams leave us too.

How does this happen? It’s really simple. To make the big bucks, you have to trade all those things in . . . Then and only then can you move to the top of the heap. But what you seek is not always what you receive . . . Your losses along the way may taint any victory you’ve achieved.

If we seek money, we will get money. If we seek happiness, we will get happiness. But somehow we think that happiness, love, success and money are all the same. They’re not . . . How can we be happy if we don’t know what makes us happy?

Our emotions require management . . . Everything requires management. We need to set goals, work to toward those goals and reevaluate our paths regularly.

Too deep . . . We’re much more than mere auto-bots, single threaded computers, able to do one thing well. We’re mankind, we need to do everything well . . .

What Will You Leave Behind?

?



I have a small shelf sized shopping cart filled with objects. It’s my version of a time capsule. The objects are things that define a moment in my life. Mostly junk, but each has its own story.

+ a copy of my first book, “The World Outside My Window”

+ a flask

+ an old disk drive with its cover off

+ a rosary and a book explaining how to pray the rosary

+ my Grandpa’s pocket watch and his skeleton keys for his front door

+ a second place band ribbon

+ a Kiwanis Coaster

+ a pen with a book on it

+ an American Legion Poppy

+ a $200 check given to me by my oldest boy

+ a pack of matches

+ my youngest son’s exercise rope used after surgery

+ a river runt fishing lure with no hooks

+ a harmonica box with an old pocket knife inside and two

Montana Quarters

+ piece my youngest made in jewelry class

+ a broken watch

+ a door knocker

+ a Candle given to me by a friend

+ a business card announcing my first book

+ a flower bowl, I sold as a child – my first sales job

+ And a shopping cart . . . Which has an extreme significance to

me.

Each item is a story in itself, each item in totality tells my story of who I am, what I’ve done.

Not everything, but if you looked around my room, you would have an almost complete characterization of me. And if you went around the house and yard, little would be left out of my story.

My family may never know the stories behind those object, but they do know I valued each of them and then they can wonder. At one time or other we all will wonder and that is a gift. My gift to them is an adventure into the unknown.

What will you leave behind?
